-wakeupnfuck- Liz Ocean- Sladyen Skaya - Wunf 3... Apr 2026

Fans of Lustmord , *Arca’s Kick iii , or anyone who believes a “wrong” note is more interesting than a correct one.

WUNF 3 is not for the faint of heart or the clean of speaker. WakeUpNFuck excels at creating atmosphere through technical imperfection. Liz Ocean proves she can write a hook even when the mix is trying to erase it. Sladyen Skaya brings the weight, though his track requires the most patience.

The closer brings Liz Ocean and Sladyen Skaya together for the first time. Their voices don’t harmonize; they argue. Ocean’s high-end melody is pitted against Skaya’s low-end mumble over a broken footwork beat. It collapses into pure noise at 2:45, then rebuilds as a simple, beautiful synth pad for ten seconds before cutting off mid-note. Frustrating. Intentional. Perfect. -WakeUpNFuck- Liz Ocean- Sladyen Skaya - WUNF 3...

Liz Ocean provides the EP’s most surprising moment. Over a submerged dub bassline, her vocals float from a whisper to a distorted scream. The production deliberately clips the high end, making her voice sound like it’s transmitting from a flooded basement. The hook— “I don’t need air / I need a short circuit” —is the most memorable on the EP. It’s the closest WUNF 3 comes to a “banger,” albeit one that’s rusted shut.

Ugly, compelling, and self-aware. Set your alarm. You’ll probably hit snooze, but you’ll feel guilty about it. Fans of Lustmord , *Arca’s Kick iii ,

The title track for the EP opens with a glitched-out alarm loop and a field recording of a hangover. WUNF’s signature lo-fi percussion hits like a hammer on a broken 909. Lyrically, it’s nihilistic but functional: “Snooze again / Lose a friend.” A perfect manifesto for the record’s lack of patience.

Audiophiles. People who ask, “Is the bass supposed to distort like that?” Liz Ocean proves she can write a hook

WUNF 3 isn’t an album you casually stream on a Sunday morning. It’s the third transmission from the chaotic collective WakeUpNFuck (WUNF), a project that thrives on distortion, loop-based aggression, and spoken-word vitriol. This installment drafts two distinct voices: the ethereal yet corrupted Liz Ocean and the guttural, industrial poet Sladyen Skaya . The result is 34 minutes of genre-friction that sits somewhere between post-club, power electronics, and deconstructed techno.

Sladyen Skaya slows the tempo to a crawl. Think early Swans meets a broken CD player. Skaya’s delivery is half-sung, half-confessed, buried under layers of tape hiss and a single, repeating piano chord that’s detuned by a quarter-tone. At 6:12, it overstays its welcome slightly, but the final minute—where the rhythm drops out entirely, leaving only Skaya breathing and a distant siren—is genuinely unnerving.
